Coffee Shops near Stickney

“I just recently started going there since last year. No negative reviews here. Every single experience has been great alongside with the food. When it’s your birthday, the staff sings to you. You pay what you get and it’s worth every penny. Keep up the great work Alexander’s!! As busy as it gets: even when people are standing room only: it goes by quickly and the staff greets you with their kindness and smiles.“

“I absolutely love the vibe at Afro Joe's. The beverages & food are always amazing. I order online, grab it & go when I have to keep it moving. But when I have the opportunity to sit and chill, it's a whole vibe and I LOVE IT! Great job Aisha & Kendall Griffin!“

“My Saturday rest day go to delivery! Best iced mocha latte, empanada, and Cuban sandwich I've ever had... The beignets are also fantastic. 10/10 would recommend!“

“The pastries are very delicious! I have a variety of them. They are some of the best I have had in unexpected combinations. The latte I had was floral and balanced. It was a Lavender Latte. If you love coffee and pastries, you do not want to miss out on this experience. Cafe Calida has a selection that is full of flavor that is truly sure to delight. Visit them today to see for yourself. Check their hours of operation.“

“Delish coffee, superfriendly staff 💜☕️

I ordered a capp with an extra shot of espresso, oat milk, and their seasonal apple spice syrup. Perfectly balanced (I even forgot to ask for it half-sweet, like I usually do, but my coffee still tasted like coffee, not like straight sugar 🙌🏼 - much appreciated!!)

Coffee was quick to come up, and there’s plenty of street parking in this sparse industrial neighborhood.
Love it!“

“The Skull Island drink had an interesting taste since I don't usually go for drinks with banana syrup, but it was fun to try. Their bagels were very good and perfectly toasted, and the vegan cream cheese wasn't bad either. The staff was super nice and welcoming, and the decorations really make the place stand out. There's also a good amount of seating, and you can even pop into the record store next door through the connecting door, which is a cool touch.“

“Excellent coffee and empanadas, delighted owners/staff, easy street parking. Support small and local!“

“Super chill, artsy, fun place to get some coffee, slow down and lose track of time for awhile.“

“Sometimes it seems like the people are so stoned they can not really explain things if you have never been there. Also pricing can be very misleading if you do not know what your looking at and just thinking oh ill try this with this. They when you get to the register you have a 30$ drink and you have no idea why and doesnt even have an effect on you. Just read and dont feel rushed because there is usually a line. Some of the edibles I think are way overpriced but most are from places like this.“

“loved everything about it!“

“Moonwalker is our favorite neighborhood cafe! They have the best sandwiches both for breakfast and lunch and such delicious lattes, the banana bread latte is to die for. All only made better by their incredible staff!“

“I ordered a Matcha Chi iced latte and it was BOMB! A comedian also came in that I recognize from LA and said hello. Super cute space & environment 🫶🏾 I also live in Springfield IL and this is my first experience!“

“My God, this sangwich will make you feel that things might just be ok and forget for a moment what a dumpster fire of a time we live in. The lamination! Look at these luscious layers of pastry hugging eggs and some crispy plancha sausage! Look at them! Few things are perfect or capable of changing your life. This sandwich and these brothers just might be the thing. 10/10 and I’ll definitely be back for more.“

“Girl & the Goat completely exceeded my expectations! very good food“

“This is my favorite breakfast and coffee shop. Everything is good here including the staff and music“

“I haven’t tried everything in there but the coffee drinks and different juices I’ve had are really good and the staffs super nice friendly always smiling.“

“Love this new local coffee shop! I'm always on the lookout for a good independently owned coffee shop and this is at the top of my list. The iced coffee is amazing - the flavor has a slight sweetness to it which sets it apart from a lot of other brews I've had. The inside is small but has plenty of seating, so a great place to get studying/work done (plus free - reliable - wifi). The icing on the cake is that their mission is to support local shelter dogs - 50% of sales on their merchandise goes to Friends of Chicago Animal Care and Control. The dog-themed decor is also adorable. Highly recommend!!!“

“If you’re looking for authentic Serbian cuisine this is it, being Serbian I’ve been dying for some cevaps and Sarma and we came here from Indiana for my birthday !!!!! Thank you we will be back!!! Friendly caring staff and off the charts yummy Serbian food 🥰“

“This cafe has a wonderful interior with a lot of seating options. I am a fan of Filipino cafes and was excited to try this one out. I ordered the ube matcha, and they were out of the mango and strawberry matcha. I’m unsure if this is because I went on a Saturday at 10:30a.m., but they may be out of certain flavors. The latte had a mild flavor of both ube and matcha, and if that’s what you’re looking for then I recommend trying it out! If not, then try a different Filipino cafe in Chicago. I didn’t get a chance to try the food, and was honestly a bit confused by the menu. I wish they had the food menu also posted instead of a QR code to ease the process of looking at options. I did not realize they had other food options besides baked goods until after I ordered and looked online. Also, there was some confusion about what baked goods were available bc they were crossed out on the menu (see photo) but the cashier told me they had everything available, including the banana bread, until she checked in the back. Overall, had an okay experience here.“

“Best coffee I’ve ever had“

“This is such a great spot for breakfast and to get some work done! I am in love with their breakfast sandwich – it is such a delicious way to start the day. Every time I've gone here, the staff is super friendly and the atmosphere feels super conducive to getting work done or some reading in. Would highly recommend if you're looking for a nice place to grab a bite, want to catch up with friends, or get some to do's crossed off your work list!“

“Deserves more than 5 stars! WONDERFUL experience each time I come here. Everything made from scratch. Not just pierogi ---Gelato, soups, empanadas, tamales, pizza pie (takes 50 mins to make from scratch and worth it!!) Premium Belgium chocolates, shakes, Coffee and most recent.....160 (yes one hundred and sixty) different premium teas from around the world!!.....and more to come! They also own the tea room and book store next to the cafe. Owners are THE BEST! Welcoming, personable and humorous. Dinning outside available and pups are welcome! You can tell they have a passion for the business. HIGHLY recommend! ENJOY!“

“I’m in love with this place and the people working there are sweet and nice I’m addicted“

“Absolutely AMAZING pizza. The dough is just perfect. The salads are outstanding and their take on sandwiches is completely out of the ordinary. The owners and people who work there are so nice and welcoming. I highly recommend this place. 5 stars!!!!“

“Amazing vegan sandwiches, ice cream and service! 10/10“

“Stopped there yesterday randomly after a local competitor closed at noon. The barista was very pleasant and happy to take my simple large mocha order. it was made perfect and tasted delicious. i sat outside and enjoyed my cup while also enjoying the free smells of them roasting coffee. Great place. I really enjoyed. TY“

“clean environment, friendly staff and AMAZING coffee ☕ 😋“

“The owner is so welcoming, and let’s not even get started on the food! I had the chorizo and veggie skillet, and he was kind enough to let me try a bit of both. The coffee was amazing, too. My friend ordered the poblano crepe (of course I had to taste it), and that was absolutely delicious as well! Like he said, “when you go there, he wants it to be more than just good food …he wants it to be an experience”, and he truly delivers!“

“Fabulous night. Our group tried the special hamburger, beef stew and bangers and mash. All were great. We also tried a special beer and the beer cocktail. The two in our group that had the beer cocktail really liked it! They are not beer people so the cocktail drink version was perfect. To end the night, we did the gingerbread decorating kit. It was fun and tasted great with a Guinness!“

“Can’t say enough great things about this place. The word that immediately leaps to mind when I think of it is…comfort. It’s a comfortable space with a very relaxing vibe. And old school coffee house vibe in many ways (and that’s a HUGE compliment in my book).“

“I’ve been loving Loba’s pineapple sourdough muffins. They are beyond delicious! I’m not vegan, but these vegan pastries are life changing! I also am a big fan of their cold brew. This Christmas, I decided to try their take-n-bake kouign-amann; and OMG my family and I were IN LOVE with the Ham & Gruyere kouign-amann! I will need to reorder this again next year!! 100% recommend!“

“Best coffee we drank during our visit to Chicago. Really nice employees!!!“

“The staff is super friendly and helpful. This was my first visit and I will be back again! If you are a tea lover, this place has a large selection of loose leaf teas and accessories.“

“Thank you so much Cafe El Menson for your generous donation to my kindergarten classroom today. My students really enjoyed the Arroz con Gandules. I cannot thank you enough!“

“10 years, and I still love them. Everything is perfect at any location. Chicago’s premier roasters.“

“Drink Happy Thoughts is a great little spot in Uptown—cozy, welcoming, and very neighborhood-forward in the best way.

The Butter Me Up drink was the clear standout: a perfect balance of sweetness and espresso, smooth and incredibly well done. The Bee Sting was good, but I would’ve loved a bit more kick to really make it pop.

Food-wise, their breakfast sandwiches are fire. The Notorious with pesto was a fantastic start to the day—flavorful, satisfying, and clearly made with care.

Really happy to have found this local gem. Will definitely be back.“

“This was my second time eating here but 6th time having their food - I think I have confidence in this place to be consistently good. So when I brought my family here visiting for the first time time, for dinner, I was rest assured. We had come in at 8, and put in our order by 820 - all vegetarian with veggies and tofu. 30 minutes go by (nearly closing) and they come back to say they’ve run out tofu. Understandably, we were disappointed. We reluctantly made the modifications to our dishes as it was too late to go anywhere else. 30 more minutes elapse and we’re wondering where our food was; lone and behold, the restaurant had gone out to procure tofu for our dishes. Despite the bad taste the first half left in our mouth, the second half of them going above to fix the issue and make incredible food made up for it. Will come again, but just will confirm the tofu availability beforehand ;)“

“10 years, and I still love them. Everything is perfect at any location. Chicago’s premier roasters.“

“Thank you, Backlot Coffee, for letting us use our personal cups again and helping to protect the environment.“

“There’s ample indoor seating (high tops, low tops, couches), along with an outdoor patio, and even a conference room to work in. The staff is really attentive to detail when it comes to anticipating guests’ needs. They work with a sense of urgency too.“

“Me and the GF had the Cruel Summer and the Expresso Milk Shake. They were both so good! Can’t wait to try others! Great place has a lot of outdoor seating as well.“

“It’s cute little coffee shop on a great spot on the corner. It has a small menu of the classic coffee options like latte and cortado, and they have 3 syrup options of lavender, vanilla, or mocha (nope, no caramel!). I forget how small the 8oz is it fits so cutely in my hand but it was a good amount of coffee for my walk home. A bit higher prices but it’s a small business supporting our community! Plenty of seating and space to study, work, or chill!“

“Best Coffee, Great Event, we love the spot!“

“Best food ♥️, I recommend the restaurant owner super nice“

“Levant is among my absolute favorite coffee shops I’ve ever frequented. The people are so kind and make me feel welcome and valued every time I’m there, which is often. The coffee is incredible and the pastries are delicious. They’re one of the best parts of Roscoe Village and make the neighborhood feel like home.“

“Very nice and clean place, the owner was kind and welcoming I most definitely will be back😘“

“Breakfast sandwich was great, having a hash brown on it was icing on the cake. Fluffy egg and jalapeño jelly was chefs kiss!

Ordered a plain coffee cream and sugar which tasted sour :(

Otherwise everything was great“

“Gorgeous café, on-site roaster, friendly people, delicious coffee. I'm delighted to have discovered Magnifico!“

“I stopped at the Doppio Coffee House in Chicago, I absolutely loved it! I ordered the salmon open-face sandwich and it was incredible; fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented.
The atmosphere is so cozy, perfect for relaxing with great food and coffee. The owners were incredibly friendly and welcoming, you can tell they truly love what they do and care about their guests. Their warm energy made the experience feel personal and memorable.
I also tried their energy balls, and they were delicious, the perfect treat with my coffee.
Highly recommend if you’re in the area! I’ll definitely be back.“
